PARIS (AFP) - French writer Gabriel Matzneff said in an interview on Wednesday (Jan 29) that he "regrets" his trips to Asia to have sex with children, claiming that at the time "no one ever said it was a crime".

The veteran essayist is being investigated by French police after a leading French publishing executive detailed how he abused her when she was 14 in an explosive new bestseller.

"A tourist should not behave like that," the 83-year-old told a French television channel in Italy, where he has fled to, to escape the storm the revelations stirred.

French publishing houses pulled his works from bookshops last month, a move that Matzneff has denounced.

"I find it stupid, extravagant that in 2020, I am facing grief for books I wrote more than 40 years ago," he said.

But in the new interview with BFMTV, he was more contrite.

"An adult should turn their head away and resist the temptation. Naturally, if I did something that was not good, I regret it.

"You were there as a traveller, and young boys and girls were trying to pull you in the street and jump on you under the benevolent eye of the police."

Matzneff never made any secret of his sexual preference for adolescent girls and boys and it did not stop him from winning the Renaudot prize in 2013.

He also was awarded major state honours in France.

And the writer even enjoyed a special pension and reduced rent for his apartment in a chic district of the French capital.

The case has shone a light on what many see as an overly permissive attitude towards sexual harassment and sexual abuse of children in France.

But attitudes towards the writer changed dramatically after publisher Vanessa Springora revealed her tortured relationship with him in her book Consent, published on Jan 2.

She described how Matzneff, then in his 50s, would wait for her outside school and then take her to a hotel for sex.

Matzneff denies any wrongdoing, insisting there was an "exceptional love" between him and Ms Springora. During the interview with BFMTV, he railed against the French government for threatening to take away his special pension.

But French equality minister Marlene Schiappa said the problem with Matzneff "was not what he wrote but what he did". His case has exposed "major dysfunction" in French society, she said. "There are Matzneffs everywhere, and we have to denounce them."

French author has ‘a few regrets’ over past sex tourism

‘Like the Soviet Union’
In Les Moins de Seize Ans (“The Under 16s”), first published in 1974 and reissued in 2005, Matzneff was frank about indulging his obsession for underage partners and sex tourism.

In the 1990s, he told French television that “a very young girl is rather sweeter, even if she becomes very quickly hysterical and just as crazy as she will be when she is older.”

But attitudes toward the writer changed dramatically after Springora, now 47, revealed her tortured relationship with him in her book The Consent, published on January 2.

She described how Matzneff, then in his 50s, would wait for her outside school and then take her to a hotel for sex.

Matzneff denies any wrongdoing, insisting there was an “exceptional love” between him and Springora.

During the interview with BFMTV, Matzneff insisted: “I never said anything nasty about her, because she is a luminous person.”

But he railed against the French government for threatening to take away his special pension.

“It’s like the Soviet Union,” said the writer, whose parents were White Russian refugees.

Matzneff never made any secret of his sexual preference for adolescent girls and boys and it did not stop him from winning the Renaudot prize in 2013.

He also was awarded major state honours in France.

And the writer even enjoyed a special pension and reduced rent for his apartment in a chic district of the French capital.

The case has shone a light on what many see as an overly permissive attitude towards sexual harassment and sexual abuse of children in France.

They only pretend to care now because a victim grew up and complained.


But remember that the French are much superior people to filthy Americans.

 

[LetThemEatCake]

He knew it was wrong, all right. He also knew it was easier and cheaper to procure victims in Asia, just like sex tourists do now, because kids would be offered to them upfront, and back then, zero chance of being caught or prosecuted by either nation. Remember, there were esteemed authors like Arthur C. Clarke of a similar generation who basically moved to South Asia to live quietly among people where they could act way richer than they were because poor country, and easily procure young local boys to fuck, and got away with this shit for decades and even when called to the carpet eventually as times caiught up with them, nothing was done.

Aren't the French still guarding Roman Polanski? The French love pedophiles and pedophilia.

Polanski lives in Switzerland I think but yes, worked in France a lot. As far as I can work out, he is restricted to traveling between Switzerland, France and Poland. He's also the same age as the old creep sex tourist in this article, with his love of little girls.

The 70s may have had a whole 'liberation' movement for kids run by pedophiles inside the gay liberation movement, supported by various other leftists and degenerates, but it was NOT supported by the vast majority of normal people. The squares never wanted to sexualise kids, the political gays and leftists of that generation did.

Can any of the french kiwis look into publish history and find if he has written anything lolworthy (feminist books for example).

Yes, he is a known anti-communist.

How very interesting that they focus on this relationship with a 15 year old girl. When even the French Wikipedia article mentions his proclivities for 10 and 11 year old boys.

 

[Eryngium]

How could anyone get off to the idea of removing a little girl's clothes and licking her tiny body all over, nibbling her neck and kissing her adorable little nipples? Only a heartless monster would think about her cute girlish mouth and tongue wrapped around a thick cock slick with her saliva, pumping in and out of her mouth until it erupts, the cum more than her little throat can swallow. The idea of thick viscous semen overflowing, dribbling down her chin over her flat chest, her tiny hands scooping it all up and watching her suck it off her fingertips is just horrible. You're all a bunch of sick perverts, thinking of spreading her smooth slender thighs, cock poised at the entrance to her pure, tight, virginal pussy, and thrusting in deep as a whimper escapes her lips which are slippery with cum, while her small body shudders from having her cherry taken in one quick stroke. I am disgusted at how you'd get even more excited as you lean over her, listening to her quickening breath, her girlish moans and gasps while you hasten your strokes, her sweet pants warm and moist on your face and her flat chest, shiny with a sheen of fresh sweat, rising and falling rapidly to meet yours.It is truly nasty how you'd run your hands all over her tiny body while you violate her, feeling her nipples hardening against your tongue as you lick her chest, her neck and her armpits, savoring the scent of her skin and sweat while she trembles from the stimulation and as she reaches her climax,hearing her cry out softly as she has her first orgasm while that cock is buried impossibly deep inside her,pulsing violently as an intense amount of hot cum spurts forth and floods through her freshly-deflowered pussy for the first time, filling her womb only to spill out of her with a sickening squelch. And as you lie atop her flushed body, she murmurs breathlessly,"You came so much inside of me", then her fingers dig into your back as she feels your cock hardening inside again.

Jeezuz... it's Shiversblood's heterosexual ghostwriter! <horror>

 

[Unpaid Emotional Labourer]

Nobody specifically told me that putting a bullet in this guy’s head would be wrong, so.

 

[Fareal]

There is absolutely no excuse for an adult to molest children.

It literally does not matter what words the molester uses, there is no excuse that makes it A-OK.

Actually trying to excuse the conduct just makes the normal people very angry.

 

[The Great Chandler]

I'm more forgiving to murderers than I do pedophiles, at least by a margin.

 

[idosometimes]

Who is surprised? The French think that Americans are prudes for being upset that Roman Polanski drugged and "r'ed" a minor.

 

[Technetium]

You guys are so insensitive. He was literally being assaulted by horny kids whenever he walked the streets.

"You were there as a traveller, and young boys and girls were trying to pull you in the street and jump on you under the benevolent eye of the police."

How else would you react when a pre-teen, who may or may not be under death threat from some pimp and is being ignored by the corrupt cops, comes up and offers you a blowjob? When in Rome, do as the Romans, I say. Such a fascinating culture.

Only a heartless monster would think about her cute girlish mouth and tongue wrapped around a thick cock slick with her saliva, pumping in and out of her mouth until it erupts, the cum more than her little throat can swallow. The idea of thick viscous semen overflowing, dribbling down her chin over her flat chest, her tiny hands scooping it all up and watching her suck it off her fingertips is just horrible. You're all a bunch of sick perverts, thinking of spreading her smooth slender thighs, cock poised at the entrance to her pure, tight, virginal pussy, and thrusting in deep as a whimper escapes her lips which are slippery with cum, while her small body shudders from having her cherry taken in one quick stroke.

Ze olde monsieur gleed delightfully, for what ‘tis a moral “monster” to a man all too blessed by its anatomical equivalent between his pants?! As he pounded the kitty in her plucked flower, he’d felt his mood grow sour. For ze girl waz gettin‘ duller by ze hour and his schlong could no longer compare to ze Eiffel Tower! So he wept inside of her but once again, as deeply as he’d ponder on stool with his intellectual brain! So off he went to the barbaric East, whereupon on endless Lolitas he will feast! ‘Zis a Gabriel Matzneff tale, of righteous loving and a heinous Soviet betrayal! Read ze book, you frog-hating snail!

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

France doesn't gives a shit.
Polanski, #metoo, times up, etc

I remember an interview with Isabelle Huppert and she basically said it all boils down to the French attitude. They essentially can't be bothered to care; you take it and ask no questions, etc. They're very different from the rest of the world.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

If you need to go to third world or developing countries to legally do something, there's a high chance it's a crime everywhere else. High chance it disgusts the locals, too.

 

[Safir]

Yes, losing your honors for fucking little girls is exactly the same as getting shipped of to siberia for offending the Vozd. What a disgusting little maggot. Why are french ˝intellectuals˝ always such human garbage?

His parents were White Russian emigrants, so it's less offending the Vozhd and more "can't own slaves anymore".

 

[Zero Day Defense]

So, he was extremely open about his predilection towards the underaged, but nobody (probably, hardly anybody) actually did or said anything until one of the victims of his well-known predilection wrote an explosive bestseller?

This is peak sheep behavior, one step removed from "society had to be told that this is wrong", and only because it's actually "society had to be told that they think this is wrong".

And currently Macron, who got statutory raped by his French teacher and made her First Lady.

I'm arguably more offended that he chose to marry his statutory rapist when she now has the skin consistency of a compacted Gucci bag.

 

[F/lying Frankenstein]

I'd argue that the it is the French "elite", in terms of wealth, power and prestige, that does not give a damn about children being raped,
I still want to believe that common people had a functioning moral compass and still have one. Maybe I'm optimistic.

Anyway, this disgusting case and the approbation of paedophila in France's most respected intellectual circles in the same era
( Marianne, a French Newspaper, published a slew of articles showing the support of the French elite, such as Simone de Beauvoir for instance, for paedophiles in the 1980s' Becsuse they felt it was progressive.) and perhaps still today, tells me two things:
Fame and wealth will never mean that someone has common sense and decency, and nobody can claim that the past was better than today, if that was the past.

 

[The Final Troondown]

que faire si l'enfant y consent?

 

[Rusalka]

M. Matzneff saying "resist the temptation", suggests he is an irrepressible pervert. Who is even sexually tempted by a child? If he were not a pervert he would not even be tempted.

 

[Sped Xing]

It irks me that he's trying to make this about "censorship."

It's not your books, dipshit. It's the raping children. If France was "like the Soviet Union," they would have put a bullet in your brain and erased all mention that you ever existed.

 

[Super-Chevy454]

Aren't the French still guarding Roman Polanski? The French love pedophiles and pedophilia.

I'm a bit too optimistic but maybe the party will end for Roman Polanski in France.

Roman Polanski’s new film “An Officer and a Spy” topped the list of nominations on Wednesday for the “French Oscars”, the Cesars, sparking fury from feminist
